Happenings

So, what have we been up to around the Nelson house....well, we have been soaking up every minute of our Dawgs in the #1 spot.  EK was thrilled to get to wear her maroon to school on college spirit day.

Walker loves the Dawgs too.  He always insists on sitting on our bulldog when taking his picture outside.

Most Fridays you can find us at a local high school football game.  Love getting to see our "big kids."

I must brag on Miss Priss.  Once a month at school, the PE classes participate in "Running Club." Each child is given 15 minutes to run a mile.  For each mile you run, you get a foot charm that can be displayed on your backpack.  EK completed her mile during the October running club.  She was so proud!  

  They are mighty sweet to each other....every once in a while!

I love when I get pictures of EK's work from school.  It is amazing to see how far her writing has come!

There are just a few more days to order your labels from my friend Sarah. They are only $15 ($11 of which go straight to our adoption expenses) and they make great happies to give or just are perfect to jazz up any package you need to give. 

And speaking of our adoption....we have submitted the necessary paperwork for Emma's visa. We are now waiting on our Article 5. It should be here within 2 weeks. After that we will wait for our travel invitation!!!! This typically takes a couple of weeks which would have us traveling in December!!!  My prayer all along has been to have Emma home by Christmas. It's possible, but because of holidays and such, it could be January. Either way, I'm just ready for my baby to be home!
